My Attic Connects To Other Worlds - v2 Chapter 142
The North American market is the global vane.
After this data came out, the whole world was boiling over.
What followed was a box office frenzy around the world.
The first is Japan, which is also one of the world’s largest markets outside of North America.
And almost without exception, Chinese-language movies that have set a global box office miracle have achieved success in Japan.
Even before the news of miracle came from the North American box office, the box office in Japan had already exploded, and it was getting more and more exploded.
But there are still some places where the box office is a bit hard to describe.
For example, Hong Kong, Treasure Island, and the Korean market.
The film market in these three places is very mature.
But the performance of mainland films in these three markets is very average.
For example, in the Xiangjiang market, the best score was “Hero”, which received 24 million Hong Kong dollars, followed by “Full City with Golden Armor”, which was about 18 million.
But there are special reasons why these two films are good at the box office in Hong Kong. Needless to say, the heroes are almost all Hong Kong stars, especially the Kung Fu superstar, which has a great appeal in Hong Kong itself.
The real box office miracle in Xiangjiang should be another world latitude. Two years later, “Let the Bullets Fly”, although only 12 million.
But although this movie has a big brother, whether it is from the cast or the theme of the movie, it should not be liked by the Xiangjiang people, but it has won more than 10 million, which is a miracle.
In short, it is difficult for mainland films to get particularly successful box office in Hong Kong.
In another world, as of 2019, the number one on the Hong Kong box office total list is “Avengers 4” with 221 million Hong Kong dollars.
The second place is Avatar, 179 million Hong Kong dollars.
The third place is the Avengers 3, 153 million.
Yes, the top three are all Hollywood movies.
In fact, from the bottom to the bottom, it is always 23rd, all of which are Hollywood movies.
The best performance of Hong Kong Movies was “Chill 2”, which ranked 26th.
As for mainland movies, none of the top 50, or even the top 100, can enter.
“Three Body 1”, Xiangjiang also released on July 18.
Although it has created an unprecedented box office miracle in the mainland, it is only fortunate in Xiangjiang, with a box office of 11.5 million in the first week.
It’s definitely not bad. It is a high probability event to surpass “Hero” according to the normal trajectory, but it is far from a miracle.
After the box office data came out, many filmmakers in Xiangjiang expressed their disappointment with this data, and there shouldn’t be such a small box office.
He also called on the audience from Xiangjiang to walk into the cinema to appreciate this unprecedented masterpiece.
But the effect is still mediocre.
But after the North American box office came out in the first week, the whole world went crazy.
The box office of Xiangjiang began to explode, the Korean market began to explode, and even the box office of Treasure Island began to explode, and the box office of Australia exploded.
As for Europe, it is probably the most arrogant group in the world.
Of course, Hollywood movies have swept the European market, but the mainstream attitude here has always taken a relatively contemptuous attitude towards Hollywood works.
On the one hand, the market is mostly occupied by others, and on the other hand, the commercialization of Hollywood movies is ignored.
He said no, but his body was quite honest.
So after Trisola 1 was released in Europe, the results were very good, but there was no big explosion.
After the news from North America came out, the box office in Europe went up, but it still didn’t explode.
But not very good, it is still an unprecedented good result.
………………
The most terrifying thing is in the country.
After the box office data came out in the second week, the whole country was completely aphasia.
The box office for five days in the first week was 327 million.
In the second week, the box office reached a staggering 489 million.
Not only did it reverse the decline, but it also rose by 50%.
Everyone was really stunned. Two weeks after the release, the box office reached 816 million.
How much will this final box office reach? Really a ghost knows.
Immediately afterwards, the box office for the first week in the world other than China also came out.
141 million U.S. dollars, of which 83 million U.S. dollars in North America.
In other words, with the addition of China, the world’s total box office has already reached 249 million U.S. dollars.
The global box office of “Star Wars 1” is $890 million.
It is not hopeless to hit this achievement.
And what really shocked the market was the second week of the North American market.
The box office of the first weekend was 64 million.
In the second week, the number of screening venues rose from 2,500 to 4,000.
As a result, the box office reached $73 million the following weekend.
A truly unprecedented decline.
It doesn’t matter if it has achieved a reverse decline in the Chinese market, it has also performed this amazing miracle in the North American market.
In the following week, the North American box office reached a staggering 115 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office in North America reached 198 million U.S. dollars.
Of course, there is still a long way to go from the $474 million of Star Wars Prequel 1.
But it’s not hopeless, because it’s only been released for less than two weeks, and the box office curve is still so bad.
The scariest thing is the global box office.
The box office of “Three Body 1” in China finally dropped a bit in the third week, but it was also 430 million yuan, so the total box office came to 1.236 billion yuan.
In the second week of the world, due to the reputation of the North American market, it reached a staggering 160 million US dollars, an increase of 50% from the first week.
So, on August 8th.
The global box office of “Three Body 1” reached a staggering US$416 million.
Everyone has to face a fact.
The final box office of “Three-Body 1” is likely to surpass “Star Wars 1”.
The most important thing is that in all the film reviews, “Star Wars 1” has mixed reputation, but “Three Body 1” is almost all praise.
From Rotten Tomatoes to IMDB to other rankings in the world, all are high scores.
Of course, these scores have dropped to a certain extent compared to when they were first released, but the scores are still very high.
What is even more frightening is that the global box office curve has entered the third week, but there is no obvious trend of decline in the box office.
Then, everyone had to face a fact.
More than two years ago, “Three-Body” defeated “Star Wars Prequel”, something that was considered completely impossible, and it would really happen.
This incredible miracle.
It will really happen.
Moreover, several well-known forecasting companies around the world have issued reports.
The global box office of “Three Body 1” may eventually exceed $1 billion.
Especially in the Chinese market, a totally unthinkable data may burst.
Because the audience in the Chinese market has gone crazy, many audiences have been repainting the movie in order to make Wang Huan win.
And these agencies predict.
“Three-Body 2”, which will be released five months later, is likely to have an even more amazing box office miracle.
Because the scene in the second part is bigger, the plot is also more intense.
The Trisolaran, whom countless spectators have waited for a long time, is finally about to attack the earth, and the space war between the two sides is also coming.
So the real climax of this movie is coming.
Then there is a problem.
If “Three-Body” really beats “Star Wars” at the box office, what about the President of the United States?
Do you really have to apologize to Wang Huan personally as in the gambling game?
At this time, the American media could no longer hold back, and kept asking questions about the soul.
“President, are you ready to apologize?”
“Mr. President, are you ready to withdraw your previous criticism of the Beijing Olympic Games?”
Of course, in the end, the world’s media have become a unified format.
If Wang Huan wins.
Will the President of the United States apologize?
The American media asked this, and many media around the world also asked the same.
Almost all were screened by this problem.
One day, at a normal press conference, it was really just a regular meeting
Despite repeated warnings beforehand, do not ask related questions.
However, at this regular live TV meeting, a leading reporter asked: “Mr. President, now it seems that “Three-Body” at the box office surpassed “Star Wars” is a high probability event, even though it was completely I can’t imagine it, but now it seems that Wang Huan is likely to win such a bet. Then will you apologize to Wang Huan? Will you change your stance on the Beijing Olympics?”
As soon as the words came out, the American president left without looking back.
The regular meeting is over anyway.
………………
At this time, Wang Huan started global publicity.
He went to Xiangjiang, to Southeast Asia, to Japan, and then to Europe.
After I went to Europe, I was planning to go to North America to promote it.
However, this time the White House regular meeting seems to be a catalyst.
At this time, Wang Huan was in France. He received a call from Sony Pictures, asking for a meeting.
In a small restaurant, Wang Huan met the senior of Sony Pictures.
“Mr. Wang Huan, I want to tell you a very unfortunate news. Starting next week, the number of venues for “Three-Body 1″ will be greatly reduced.”
Wang Huan trembled, and the day finally arrived.
“How much is reduced?” Wang Huan asked.
“500.” The other side said.
From 4,200 to 500, this box office is cut in half.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Wang Huan, we really tried our best, but this willpower is too great, and it doesn’t just come from the White House, we really can’t resist.” The other side said.
Of course Wang Huan knows that this is not just pressure from the White House.
If this gambling is just for the President of the United States to apologize to Wang Huan, then there is no problem.
In the interest of capital, the face of the US president is not so valuable.
But… involves a change of position on the Beijing Olympics.
The benefits there are huge, it is not just a few hundred million dollars, or billions of dollars.
In another world, until 2008, before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the struggle became day-to-day.
Even at the opening of the Olympic Games, the war between Russia and Georgia was in full swing.
And it has been said that when the Olympics was about to open, the president of the United States said that he would come to attend the opening ceremony.
And in 2008, many things happened even more.
At a certain time of that year, the Western world did not know how many countries were boycotting the Beijing Olympics.
“Mr. Wang Huan, not only the North American market, but also the European market, and the Australian market will reduce the number of films on a large scale. It is not a ban on the surface, but a secret ban. It will never let the box office of “Three Body” exceed the box office of “Star” “Before the War”.”
At this time, the other party couldn’t help saying: “Mr. Wang Huan, you shouldn’t mention the US President’s stance on the Beijing Olympics. If you just apologize to you, then we have enough lobbying power. After all, there is no one. Can’t make it with money.”
Wang Huan said, “I see.”
After hesitating for a while, the humanity of Sony Pictures said: “Mr. Wang Huan, let me tell you one thing by the way. Not only will they reduce the number of films in “Three-Body” all over the world, they are also preparing to explode a huge scandal of you, and There is an ironclad scandal, please be prepared.”
Does this count as a voucher?
The other party is desperately saying that my interests and yours are exactly the same.
We did this out of necessity.
………………
The following week.
What caught countless audiences off guard really happened.
The global market is reducing the number of films on a large scale.
Especially in the hot North American market, the number of screening venues dropped from 4,200 to 500.
Almost directly cut 90% of the games.
There is also the European market, which has also cut 70%, and the Australian market has cut 90%.
The Korean market has cut 70%.
The impact on the Japanese market was relatively small, cutting down 40%.
The Southeast Asian market has little influence, only cutting down 20% of the games, but its market is too small.
There is also the Russian market. Instead of cutting down the number of games, it has increased by 20%, but its market is not big enough.
The box office miracle, which was still very popular, was immediately stopped.
The box office of “Three Body 1” has soared to 530 million US dollars.
Surpassing “Star Wars Prequel 1” is completely determined.
And now, instantly strangled.
As for the reason?
Sorry, there is no reason.
To be honest, do you still need a reason to suppress you?
And it didn’t do you anyway?
It’s just to reduce the number of films. It is completely normal business practice. What reason is needed?
Of course, in this way, the US president will definitely be scolded, saying that he cannot afford to lose.
But the president of the United States is scolded countless times every year, and he is even thrown stinky shoes at the press conference, but what about it?
Besides, the term of office of this president is only one year.
At this time, Wang Huan faced a choice. He originally wanted to go to the United States for publicity.
In other words, I am grateful to the audience over there and hold a celebration party.
But now that the American market has been blocked, is it going to go?
And if Wang Huan goes there at this time, will it be in danger?
If you don’t go anymore?
In the United States, the itinerary has been announced, and a grand meeting will be held at the Chinese theater.
Moreover, if Wang Huan has not been blocked by the North American market, but won, it is not going to the United States.
Because he wants to accept a face-to-face apology from the President of the United States?
After hesitating again and again, Wang Huan still did not choose to refund the ticket, and still chose to go to the United States.
………………
On August 13, Wang Huan boarded a plane to the United States.
And just a few minutes after he boarded the plane.
A group of photos broke out on a US website.
The queen star Lin Bing entered Wang Huan’s car, and the two kissed each other.
Another photo was taken at the Conservatory of Music, where Zuo Ling and Wang Huan hugged and kissed.
Moreover, the interval between two photos should not exceed three days.
This group of photos caused a certain sensation on the US website, but the extent is only so-so.
After all, in the American entertainment industry, this kind of **** things are all there.
There are even more explosive ones. Xiao Tianhou was photographed without wearing the inner inner layer, and it did not cause any shocking storms.
But this group of photos quickly spread around the world.
Especially on domestic websites.
It detonated in an instant.
Wang Huan pedaled two boats.
Then there was news that Wang Huan not only pedaled two boats, but three boats.
His relationship with the diving queen Bai Xue is also ambiguous.
Soon, photos of Wang Huan and Bai Xue appeared in some forums.
There was no kiss or hug, but his expression was very affectionate, especially the eyes of Bai Xue looking at Wang Huan, completely unable to conceal it.
The domestic departments are still vigilant. When these photos first appear, they will directly notify these portals.
Delete, delete, delete
Don’t spread, don’t report.
Moreover, the relevant departments directly ordered to call the boss of the major portal websites, and see the post and delete it.
But it is well known.
Once this kind of thing broke out, it couldn’t be stopped at all.
You can’t delete it at all, it’s definitely not exhausted by wildfire, and the spring breeze blows again.
The more banned, the wider the spread.
Related photos spread wildly.
Of course, these photos are not at all too exaggerated, let alone revealing.
Just, hugs and kisses.
But in China, this is already a super taboo.
How many celebrities, once broke out of an extramarital affair, are directly blocked by cold storage.
Wu Moubo.
Bai Mouhe.
Even in the article, he was only faintly photographed, and there was no solid photo evidence, but he was also cold.
And Wang Huan!
I was actually taken photos of two boats stepping on them, and I hugged and kissed two different women less than three days apart.
And it’s probably three boats.
Although there was no intimate action in the photo with Shirayuki, the look in Shirayuki’s eyes was abnormal, as if she was in love.
Are you pedaling three boats? !
It’s so amazing!
This matter completely violates domestic moral views.
So in just a few hours, this “scandal” instantly detonated the entire domestic network.
Detonated the entire public opinion.
At the same time, countless people called Wang Huan at the same time.
At this time, his phone could no longer be reached, because he couldn’t answer the phone on the plane.
………………
Wang Huan, sitting on the plane, looked a little indifferent.
In fact, when someone from Sony Pictures said that someone was going to explode his scandal.
He probably guessed what it was, so far his personal morality has almost no problem.
Only on women.
Of course, it was true that he could not explain to Zuo Ling and Bai Xue on this matter.
As for the people? How to explain?
Wang Huan thought for a long, long time.
But at this time!
“Bang!” Suddenly there was a loud noise in front of him.
Then, there was a scream and exclamation.
Immediately afterwards, the lights of the entire plane dimmed suddenly.
The front is completely messy.
“Bang, bang…” There were two gunshots.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
What happened?
This…this is unreasonable and abnormal.
In another history, there have been almost no terrible hijacking incidents since the Shimao Building accident.
Of course, something even more horrifying happened after 2014, that is, the entire flight was somehow missing, and more than one.
There are even civil aviation airliners that were directly guided by… bombs… hit and fall.
In short, the world line is getting more and more magical.
But the scene that happened before Wang Huan’s eyes was extremely magical.
Horrible elements, can they bring guns to the plane? This is impossible. After a certain 11 incident, it is impossible.
However, Wang Huan quickly understood that the terrorists could not bring up guns, but on every flight there was a secret police officer who pretended to be a passenger. This person had a gun on his body, and his gun was likely to be snatched away.
After a while.
The lights of the plane came on again.
Three people appeared in front of Wang Huan, all wearing masks, and one of them had a gun in his hand.
The gunman gave a cruel sneer and said something.
Not English, but the language of a certain country in Central…East.
It was really a terrorist hijacking, and there is a high probability that it has nothing to do with the United States.
After the gunman finished speaking, he raised his gun, and the black hole aimed at Wang Huan.
…………………………
Note: I have been in meetings all day and there are activities in the evening, but I cheekily asked for leave to come back to the codeword. Today only has this update, sorry sorry.
I really have to seize the opportunity to codewords, can you give me a monthly pass?
